Welcome to parenthood
Welcome to Parenthood
Parenthood will be one of the most significant memories of your life. The part you play in this will determine your birth experience for everyone involved. Birth is about teamwork, You both conceived a baby together, now it’s time to unite and bring a baby into the world together.
Firstly, I need to clarify; midwives are not there to teach you how to birth a baby or to birth your baby for the mother. They are there to ensure that Mother and Baby are safe and to step in and support and guide the mother if things may start to get challenging. Being ‘present’ to witness the birth is a thing of the past and partners are encouraged to be an active participant in the room by supporting, protecting and advocating on behalf of the both of you for the birth preferences you both created prior to going into labour.
Secondly, just expecting to go with the flow can leave you in shock and possibly distressed. How are you meant to know what to do? You have most likely never been in a birth room before!
Thirdly, just answering yes to all the doctor’s commands can lead you down a path toward intervention and handing over all of your control, leaving you questioning afterwards, “What happened?” And possibly leaving mum feeling as though she had been stripped of her voice, helpless to her birth experience and feeling less empowered.
Birth does not always go to ‘plan’, and to be witness to your partner in distress or feeling unfamiliar with childbirth can put you in the backseat, leaving you feeling out of control, uneasy and often confused as to what your role in this is, to begin with.
